TN GOP Chair Ryan Haynes says Trumps Call to ban Muslims "outlandish"

Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Ryan Haynes blasted his party's
presidential frontrunner. Haynes, who recently vacated a seat in the
state legislature to take over the state party, said Trump's comments
have no place in the Republican party or American politics.

"Demanding
that our borders be secure or raising legitimate questions about our
screening process is one thing, but a wholesale ban on a religious basis
is just wrong. This isn't a conservative proposal; it’s an outlandish
idea that goes against American exceptionalism," Haynes said. (link)

Alexander rejects Trump's call to ban Muslims

WASHINGTON—U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander is rejecting Donald Trump’s call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

it means to be an American, and is not consistent with the principle of
the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution,” the Maryville Republican said in a
statement. (link)

shores because they wanted freedom to practice religion the way they
wanted to," Haslam said. (link)

Ron Ramsey says I would not favor a religious test

Ron Ramsey Facebook post, Dec, 8, 2015- If the last few months have taught us anything, it is that America
needs to get serious about border security -- and quickly. While I would
not favor an explicitly religious test, I do think it is time to place a
moratorium on immigration from a long list of countries with ties to
terrorism.

The United States has been the most welcoming nation
in history by a large margin. But a nation without secure borders is no
nation at all. We are at war with radical Islam and everyone outside of
the Obama administration knows it.

It is time to seriously rethink our visa, refugee resettlement and immigration policies. It is time to press the pause button.

ridiculous position and one that won't even be productive." ....
Ohio governor John Kasich, one of the more vocal critics of Trump, was also quick to reject his proposal. "This is just more of the outrageous divisiveness that characterizes
his every breath and another reason why he is entirely unsuited to lead
the United States," Kasich said.
Florida senator Marco Rubio .."I disagree with Donald Trump's latest proposal. His habit of making
offensive and outlandish statements will not bring Americans together,"
Rubio wrote. "The next President better be somebody who can unite our
country to face the great challenges of the 21st Century." (link)
